Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 23
At the end of Ariadne’s gaze, following the voice upward, stood a zelkova tree beside an abandoned fountain, its leaves blooming luxuriantly. The voice’s owner had just been lying on one of its branches, holding a book.
He closed the book he’d been covering his face with and set it down beside him, then gestured toward Ariadne.
“Shall I come up?”
The prince nodded.
“The top of a tree is the best place to stay out of people’s sight.”
There was still plenty of time before her audience with Her Majesty Queen Marguerite. There was no need to rush to pick peonies after all.
She nodded and, using her own strength, stepped onto the trunk to climb up toward the prince. But her voluminous dress hem prevented her from leaping nimbly upward.
“Shall I help you?”
She wasn’t in a position to refuse help. She reached out her hand toward Prince Alfonso, and he took Ariadne’s hand in his. His unusually thick, large hand met her long, slender fingers.
“This way—there you go.”
Holding her hand alone wasn’t enough for Ariadne to safely sit on the branch. The prince had to place his hand under her forearm and practically lift her onto the zelkova branch before finally noticing one problem.
“Oh dear—you’re wearing a white dress.”
Ariadne burst out laughing.
“What? You told me to come up without even looking?”
Alfonso laughed cheerfully along with her. He’d called out the moment he saw her face, overjoyed; he hadn’t even had time to notice her clothes.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
